Mobile Gateway forWireless Sensor Networks utilizing drones Wireless Sensor Networks have good uses in applications running in remote locations, where maintenance is difficult. Wireless sensor network islands often need a connection with a gateway in order to communicate with the outside world, but this cannot be provided in all circumstances. A different approach to connecting wireless sensor networks is to use mobile gateways that can reach the remote locations where sensor devices are running. Our design includes a gateway mounted on an unmanned aircraft that collects data on its flight path.
